| Well, wasn't Eurovision the usual trash that it always is last night? Wogan was on good form though and whilst it may be crap, its hilarious crap. Maybe I was a little harsh in phoning Ollie and suggesting Idiotchild went on. They would probably get us ‘nil’ points; only blonde, out of tune and lycra- clad women seem to win – going on last night’s performance anyway. I know Ollie is quite feminine and was blonde once, but I don’t want to see him in lycra. And anyway, Idiotchild are far too good - hence nil points; if they sounded like cats wailing, they’d have a good chance of winning. Will OJ agree with me here.
Anyway, what has just made me chuckle was the headline on BBC Online of “Faithful hound escapes hammer in Georgia”. I know there were bulls in the ChCh hammer field this week, but that’s no reason for OJ to fly to the States and experience throwing in a field of dogs. He could go to London and have a whole island if he wanted to do that.
Needless to say, the headline conjured up an amusing image. A bit disappointing when I read the article and found out that it was actually the auction-hammer they were referring to, connected with the selling of rare pedigree dogs.
Talking of auctions, Lincoln are selling a really awful 'Turl St Arts Festival 2003' creation on ebay at the moment. Its currently going for about £5.50. The square cow is due to OJ. Just pop Lincoln College into the ebay search facility. Its worth it if you want a giggle.

How long have you been selling that thing for?
Also, on the Idiotchild note (though some might say that "note" and "Idiotchild" should not occupy the same sentence), I am reliably informed that it's looking like we've got a gig a week Tuesday at The Jericho, Walton St, Oxford. It'll probably be fairly early in the evening and not for too long - I think it's an invite from our sound guy last Friday - but it's all good.
About 5 days so far. Why? Interested? :p
We are selling it as it was taking up room in out JCR. A JCR motion, passed at a meeting last term mandated to sell it on ebay. If it doesn't sell, it gets given to our SCR. Any proceeds go towards Lincoln's vacation project (taking disabled/disadvantaged children on holiday).
Hmm, I just seem to remember hearing something very similar half a year ago, right down to the square cow. Are these things on some kind of production line?!
